I am searching for a server

Sir Byronas · 08-01-2002, 08:25 AM

Not for me but for a site that wants to have its own server. They need a very good one since they want to have many files for downloading (10GB+). If somebody could find me a good server for them to buy and explain to me how it works, I would be very grateful for his assistance.
Thank you,

How much do they want to spend. I've gotten quotes on 4 in the last week and purchased two. Here's a quick overview of a couple:

HP Dual Itanium-2 box, should be in the $25k range, dual 1.0 Itanium-2, 2 Gig Memory, 3x37GB u160 Raid3 Hot Swap, Gigabit Ethernet.

Purchased a Dell Dual Xeon 2.4 box, 2 Gig ECC, 3x37GB u160 Raid5, Gigabit ethernet, came in around $9k.

Specified a custom built system - Supermicro Dual Xeon 2.4, 2 Gig ECC, 5x37GB U160 SCA2 Raid3 Hot Swap, Gigabit ethernet. About $7k
